The Mattias TP is a flat keyboard that is going to do literally nothing to help your issue. If you have an actual medical hand issue you need to buy a keyboard, from whatever company, that is specifically designed to prevent that problem.

blue = loud clicky because clicking louder means better nerd brown = not as loud theres more colors too and they each are slightly different in miniscule ways

if you can scrounge another $120, they’ve got refurbs on their site for $270. That’s what I went with, and I think all it had was a slight scratch on the case that I would have made in a week or two anyway. if not, that split might work out for you, along with careful thought about how your desk/chair/etc is all setup. bowls+tented trackball made all the difference for me. edit:discontinued new Advantage boards for $230 too. blugu64 fucked around with this message at 21:28 on May 22, 2018 |

Jonny 290 posted:what do we think about the matias mini tactile pro (for a straight board) or the ergo pro (for a split) the ergo pro will be okay sound wise but the tacitle pro is way too loud; clicky matias switches are about on par with cherry mx blue for sound, if not louder consider http://matias.ca/laptoppro/mac/ instead

It's a novelty for mechanical switch connoisseurs that want to slouch on a laz-e-boy not a serious office worker who has to type for a living.

I have an AEK II and the keys (except for the space bar) are as white as the day it was made. the chassis and the space bar need some peroxide bleaching though

it's your loss, it's the best keyboard ever made I haven't used an AEK II in a long time, but the original AEK I use daily is loud as gently caress even though it's just tactile, not clicky
